What True Merit Will
DO

The unprecedented sale Boschee's German
Syrup within a few wears. has astonished
the word. 1t is without doubt the safest
and best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and efectual cures of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. 1t acts on
an entirely different principle from the us
nal prescriptions given nv Physicians, AZ
it does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the part affected and leaves them in
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance. will save doctors bills
and long spell Of seriousilness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is pos
itively sold by all druggists and general

that we owe them an apology, for
making any encouraging remarks on
this enterprise, but we are 80 hopeful
of its success, that we are afraid not
to give it o showing when the oppor-
tunityao offers. AS long as it has a
ghost of q chance for success, it is
the duty of every one who believes n
railroad would bo any advantage to
the progress of the country, to aid it
in every way possible.
The President of the road, Col. r.
e. Bowen, has just returned from Il
trip to Brevard and Asheville. He
found the citizens of those growing
towns, and also those along the line,
enthusiastic in its support. The
country. people down the French
Broad Valley have agreed to furnish
the engineering corps board and lodg-
ings free of charge while it is engag-
ed in making the profile of this part
Of the route.
A public meeting has been called
ut Brevard for the 21st and one ut
Asheville for the 23d of April in the
interest Of the road, and it appears
that the chances for getting q pro-
file of the North Carolina section aro
first class. Prominent and wealthy
merchants in Asheville, have promis-
ed liberal aid, and as that city is now
having most substantial building
boon, many of the citizens think
that the town will give $4,000 to tho
roa1.
The prime object to be accom-
plished by the friends of tho road this
side the Tennessee line, is to get the
profile completed that far. Three
directors, responsible men, have
agreed to complete the Tennessee sec,
ton, and the Schofelds have agreed
to do the Kentucky section. This
prospect of life and activity, from
what many who areto he benefited by
its life, have been pleased to call
corpse.
There is no sense in giving up the
ship az long "a the pumps will work.
There is no railroad line, vet project
ed through this State with half the
advantages possessed by the Cum
berland Gap as to the location of its
route, or that promises such substnn-
tial advantage to established towns.
With its beginning ut Aiken c. II. it
passes through the Court House town
of every county between there and
the North Carolina line excepting
Anderson, in which county it takes in
Bolton and Williamston. The other
lines which, it has been Thought by
some, would supplnnt this, run par
allel with lines now in operation, and
through towns which already have
ample railroad facilities. so their sue
cess or failure has nothing to do with
the success of the Cumberland Gap
Road
This enterprise has withstood the
opposition of influential
towns and cities that it did not pro
pose to serve, and the strikers of 9th.
er enterprises. It is still triumphant
But the supreme moment Of its dcs
tiny has come. If its friends do not |
forsake it it will soon be rolling re-
ality. A responsible contractor stands
ready to complete it in three years,
if the profile does not show more than
an average cost of $40, cooper mile, and
the engineers have already ascertain
ed that the South Carolina Mountain
Section will not cost over SIT, ,5OOper
mile. This should give the doubling
Thomases faith, and the road some
money.

The Soldiers Monument.

The remonstanee published elsewhere
against tearing down Old City Hall to make
place for the Soldiers Monument should be
attentively read by all our citizens who pro-
pore to vote on the matter next Monday. 1t
is needless to say that the signers Of
this remonstrance are among our most re-
spectacle citizens; their names speak for
themselves.
The chief objection raised in this paper is
that the city cannot in the present state Of
its finances afford to make the sacrifice which
the proposition calls for The question of the
suitableness of the lot for the location of the
monument from an artistic point of view is
left untouched. The argument which the re-
monstrants make is certainly a strong one,
and not easily answered. 1t may be said
that the remonstrants ought to have selected
and agreed upon some other site before OPP
posing this one, but it must be borne in
mind that the question submitted to the
voters is not where the monument shall be
built but whether it shall be built on the lot
now occupied by the Old City Hall.
The remonstrants point out that the
debt of the city of Portland amounts
to sum that if distributed would
impose a burden of S105 on every man,
woman and child within its limits. They
show that the city can lease the Old City
Hall for yearly rental of per cent on
$4,000, or $3.50. The remonstrants think
the city is not in condition to sacri-
fee this income, and ought not to do so. The
Soldiers Monument Association think other
wise, for it is not to be assumed that they
would favor the tearing down of the
Old City Hall and the giving of this lot
to them to build a monument on if they
thought the city could not afford to do it.
By the act Of the Legislature, the settle
ment of this difference of opinion is commit
ted to the voting population of the city. 1t
is evidently question to be studied without
passion or prejudice. The men who oppose
tearing down the Old City Hall are not old
fogiss, nor unpatriotic people, who care
nothing for the memory Of the soldiers.
Some of them were soldiers, and all of them
are. we have no doubt, in favor of building
monument. Many of them have contrib
uted literally for that purpose. They ex-
pect to abide by the result of Mondays VOTE
All they ask is that the voters candiily
study the question in all its bearings, and not
permit themselves to be swayed by passion
or prejudice.

Mr. mccarthy and The Rochester.

The act recently passed by the legislature
authorizing the Portland and Rochester
Railroad to extend its tracks on the back
side Of the city provides that the written
consent of the Mayor and Board of Alder
men shall first be obtained. 1t will be seen
that the act confers very important power
upon the Mayor. His consent is absolutely
necessary before the proposed extension can
be built. The consent of the Board of Al
dermen alone is not sufficient. This road is
about to PASS completely into the hands of
the Boston and Maine road which, if the
extension is built, will control all the rail-
road facilities on the back side of the city.
1t is very important, therefore, that before
that extension is allowed certain guarantees
should be had from the Boston and Maine
road. Our southerly water front is now
practically monopolized by two foreign rail-
roads. We can't afford to allow a foreign
railroad to take possession of our nortnerly
water front without guarantees that Port
land will suffer no detriment therefrom. AS
originally drawn the bill proposed to allow
the extension Of the Portland and Rochester
tracks in spite of the city Of Portland. In its
original form the city was entirely ignored.
But Mayor Chapman secured an amendment
to the bill allowing the extension only on
condition that the Mayor and Board of AL
dermen agreed to it, This gives Portland
a chance to get the guarantees it ought to
have. But whether it gets them or not de-
ponds very largely on the character of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Now under
the circumstances which is the wiser course.
to elect Mr.. Charles MCCARTHY mayor who
is a stakeholder and director in the road
that asks these privileges on our northerly
water front, or Mr.. Charles J. Chapman who

The Argus on behalf Of the Boston &
Maine railroad denies that the latter road
is taking hand in the pending municipal
election. As the Boston & Maine owns the
Portland & Rochester, which is seeking some
very valuable privileges on the back side of
the city perhaps twas only prudent for it
to put in this denial. By the way, it will be
recollected that when the Portland & Roch-
ester was sold the Boston & Maine denied
that it was the purch aser. Everybody knows
now that that denial was miserable quib-

"Dr." Samuel York notwithstanding that
he has been proved to be densely ignorant
and shameless quack, can 60 on doctoring in
this State in spite of anything that can be
done under our present law to prevent. In
Lewiston he is probably too well known by
this time to get any victims, but he can move
to some other place, change his name, get up
a lot Of testimonials to wonderful cures and
in little while build up smashing prac-
tice. Ignorance works no legal Disqualified
